Shaq is only counting true big men who play like traditional bigs. Bigs that play out at the three point line aren’t included.

Shaq praises anyone who isn’t as good as him it’s a fact he’s a hater

We can now confirm, with complete seriousness, that one debut has permanently settled the best big man debate.

Shaq really dislike skilled centers lol and trying to preserve his status as greatest center ever cause wemby got potential to surpass him and jokic as crazy as it to some people might have a argument as the greatest center

Nikola Jokic is still the best big man in the NBA. Only big who can sniff Jokic's level is Wemby.

Over Joker? Damn shaq im the biggest Lakers homer but im not sure about this one lol

A really incredible thing about spending money and draft capital on a center is finding out his 10 dunks are the most by a Laker since Shaq in 2003, like that's the return on investment they had in mind

comparing kessler to shaq is glazing but those yellow shades are locked in

@SHAQ has an IQ below room temperature. Nikola Jokic is the best big man on Earth, and in fact, better than Shaq was.

Shaq calling Walker Kessler the best big man in the NBA after one game is huge praise. Twelve for twelve will do that.
